Dry Run - 9/18/09

I'm sort of struggling with the decision of whether to drop my draping class and take it with a different professor next semester. The woman teaching it moves waaaay fast, and speaks with a difficult to understand (for me) accent. After the demo on Monday, every single person in the class looked confused and desperate. This upcoming Monday is the last day we have to drop a class. I decided to attempt the homework, using my notes and the book, go to class on Monday, and make my final decision then. Since I adore my patternmaking professor, my plan, if I were to drop the class, would be to take it next semester with her. I don't think this is me being lazy (one of the things I've been trying to suss out), but that I think draping is a really important skill set to develop, and if I'm paying to take it, shouldn't it be with someone who I feel is really conveying the most information possible, rather than just teaching it to myself out of the book?

 

I decided to do a "dry run" of the homework on Friday night, on my own dressform at home. I think it went pretty well. Stay tuned....
